VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

Post in I need some help, please
Tbird posted an answer to a question,
If you are looking for help taking care of him something like a home health aide that comes in during the week and helps with what he needs help with. For this I would contact your local VA hospital and ask to speak to the Social Worker, explain your situation, ask for help and how to proceed.
If you are looking for additional compensation in the form of Special Monthly Compensation check out this video from CCK Law I think it will give you a good idea what it is and how to go about applying for it.
For example there is a Special Monthly Compensation Rate for TBI try reading this article from The Veterans Law Blog on SMC T It is a subscription site but it allows you to view 3 articles for free a month.
Special Monthly Compensation (SMC)
I hope this helps.

Question
JamesPT
Hello everyone; just looking for opinions regarding claim for secondary issues as a result of primary service connected injury. Primary claim was for broken right foot, it was not treated properly in NAM, I was sent back to the bush too soon the foot was never the same; had to have reconstructive surgery 2 years ago; claim was approved last year. Along with claim I included secondary issues for damaged left foot which needs to be surgically repaired, damage for left foot came as result for compensating for right foot pain, also there's knee, hips and lower back pain. Secondary issues were denied. I submitted NOD, had support statements from my surgeon and 2 other podiatrists submitted as well. I had a BVA hearing 2 months ago, the claim was recently remanded and records were sent back to VARO, they made a C&P appointment for examination of secondary issues at the VA Hospital tomorrow June 29th. I am concerned about the upcoming examination tomorrow; I had an examination at the VA Hospital 2 years ago, the examiner's statement stated that in her opinion my right foot injury (broken foot) and secondary issues were not service connected. I perservered with my right foot claim and had it approved. Now I am struggling in getting the additional issues approved.
Since the examiner stated 2 years ago that none of my physical injuries were service connected, even with my broken foot and medical treatment recorded in my medical records, it baffles me how she came to that conclusion. Due to what I believe was an unfair opinion I have the premonition that VA examiners tend to not favor the Veteran, I may be wrong but do these individuals actually read the Doctor's support statements, do they actually review the medical records? Anyway, I think this C&P exam tomorrow will be useless, they will put more obstacles to delay the process, in the meantime we grow older, other health issues flare up and the stress with the claims process just adds to my PTSD condition. Has anyone one out there in the "HAD IT" world have satisfactory results with VA C&P examiners?. - If I get an unfavorable decision will it be the end of the claims process? I guess I'm just looking for a word of encouragement. Any replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
Jim
